MAXIMISE YOUR RUNNING ECONOMY

Elevate your running experience and maximise your running economy with compression sportswear

You wouldn't run without running shoes, so why aren't you running with compression? SKINS are designed to enhance your performance and provide comprehensive support for your entire body. Each footstrike while running can impact your joints and muscles with 3-4 times your body weight, making it crucial to have the right support. SKINS are engineered to target key muscle groups, including the calves, quadriceps, glutes, and arms, ensuring you are fully prepared to tackle any running challenge.

WHAT IS RUNNING ECONOMY?

Running economy is a term used to describe the amount of oxygen our bodies use when running. It's important because it's key to a successful run. SKINS help improve running economy because they accelerate the natural process of pumping oxygenated blood throughout your body. Loughborough University has an excellent article which gives an overview of running economy, which you can read here.

PERFORMANCE-BOOSTING PROTOCOLS

SERIES-3 SKINS are ideal for running. They offer a medium-high compression profile and deliver gradient compression throughout to maximise blood flow. They keep you feeling strong and supported whilst speeding up the natural rejuvenation process meaning you can run faster for longer.

Achieve an ideal balance of comfort and support with snugly fitting active performance SKINS that don't restrict your natural movement. Wear them during your warm-up, throughout your run, and during your cool-down. After your run, transition to your recovery SKINS for an optimal post-run experience.

EFFECTIVE RECOVERY PROTOCOLS

Leg Recovery Plan

Experience the rejuvenating benefits of the SERIES-5 or SERIES-3 Travel & Recovery Long Tights for at least 3-5 hours post-run. You can also check out SKINS Sleepwear, specifically designed for comfort and to promote recovery during sleep. If immediate use of the Long Tights isn't possible, opt for the SERIES-3 Calf Tights or Socks until you can.


Arm Recovery Plan

Keep your SERIES-1 Arm Sleeves on for 3-5 hours post-run.


Travel Recovery Plan

Whether travelling to or from competitions, accelerate your recovery by wearing either the SERIES-5 or SERIES-3 Travel & Recovery Long Tights and the SERIES-1 Arm Sleeves. If this isn't feasible, you'll feel some benefits using the SERIES-3 Calf Tights or Socks to support your recovery journey.

 

FYI, don't forget to warm up, cool down, hydrate, and take in the correct nutrition.
